Added flags --prefix[=dir] and --exec-prefix[=DIR] which allow querying

Fri Apr  3 18:33:47 1998  Owen Taylor  <owt1@cornell.edu>

	* gtk-config.in: Added flags --prefix[=dir] and
	--exec-prefix[=DIR] which allow querying and overriding the
	configured-in prefix and exec-prefix.

	* gtk.m4: Added configure flags --with-gtk-prefix=
	and --with-gtk-exec-prefix= to set the --prefix and
	--exec-prefix argumetns to gtk.m4

-gtk-config can be invoked in one of three forms:

      Prints out the version of GTK installed
 
-  gtk-config --cflags
+  --cflags
      Prints '-I' flags pointing to the installed header files.
 
-  gtk-config --libs
+  --libs
      Prints out the linker flags necessary to link a program against GTK
    
+  --prefix[=PREFIX]
+     If PREFIX is specified, overrides the configured value of $prefix.
+     (And of exec-prefix, unless --exec-prefix is also specified)

+
+  --exec-prefix[=PREFIX]
